Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beef jerky processing technology, specifically to a tumbling device for beef jerky processing. Background Technology

[0002] A tumbling unit for beef jerky processing is a specialized piece of equipment used in beef jerky production, primarily for marinating and seasoning the meat. This device tumbles the beef with seasonings in a sealed container, allowing the seasonings to penetrate evenly into the meat, thus enhancing its flavor and texture. During the tumbling process, the equipment typically simulates hand-kneading motions, ensuring the meat fibers are thoroughly broken down, enhancing its elasticity and tenderness. This process not only improves the flavor of the beef jerky but also shortens marinating time and increases production efficiency. Overall, the tumbling unit plays a crucial role in beef jerky production, ensuring the product's quality and taste.

[0003] A tumbling device for processing beef jerky, disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN219288604U, uses a first weighing hopper, a first weighing sensor, a second weighing hopper, and a second weighing sensor. Beef chunks are added to the first weighing hopper and weighed by the first weighing sensor, while broth is added to the second weighing hopper and weighed by the second weighing sensor. This facilitates the quantitative addition of beef chunks and broth. However, the tumbling device for processing beef jerky has low flexibility of use, and beef may accumulate inside the tumbling device, resulting in insufficient tumbling and affecting the overall tumbling effect and the quality of the final beef jerky product.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides two technical solutions:

[0021] Example 1: A tumbling device for processing beef jerky includes a fixed frame 1, a first rotating mechanism 2 located at the middle of one side of the top of the fixed frame 1, a tumbling cylinder 3 located on one side of the first rotating mechanism 2, a sealed door 301 installed at the middle of one side of the outer side of the tumbling cylinder 3, a material layer 4 inside the tumbling cylinder 3, and actuating strips 5 evenly and uniformly fixedly connected inside the tumbling cylinder 3. A second rotating mechanism 6 located at the middle of one side of the fixed frame 1, a rotating rod 7 rotatably connected inside the tumbling cylinder 3 located on one side of the second rotating mechanism 6, and pressing mechanisms 8 evenly and uniformly arranged at equal distances outside the rotating rod 7. When the sealed door 301 is opened, the beef jerky material and sauce to be tumbled can be poured into the tumbling cylinder 3 for tumbling.

[0022] The first rotating mechanism 2 includes a first motor 201 installed at the middle position on one side of the fixed frame 1. The output shaft end of the first motor 201 is equipped with a connecting rod 202 that is fixedly connected to the tumbling drum 3 on one side. When the first motor 201 is started, it can drive the tumbling drum 3 to rotate clockwise through the connecting rod 202.

[0023] The second rotating mechanism 6 includes a second motor 601 installed at the middle position on the outer side of the fixed frame 1. The output shaft end of the second motor 601 is equipped with a connecting shaft 602 that is rotatably connected inside the tumbling drum 3. When the second motor 601 is started, it can drive the connecting shaft 602 and the rotating rod 7 to rotate counterclockwise, and cause the pressing mechanism 8 outside the rotating rod 7 to perform the beef jerky tumbling operation.

[0024] The pressing mechanism 8 includes hollow blocks 801 that are uniformly and evenly fixed to the outside of the rotating rod 7. Connecting arms 802 are slidably connected to both ends of one side of the hollow block 801. A movable plate 803 that slides inside the hollow block 801 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting arm 802. Springs 804 are uniformly and evenly fixedly connected to one side of the movable plate 803. A pressure roller 9 is rotatably connected to the middle position of the two sets of connecting arms 802. The pressure roller 9 contacts the beef jerky material inside the tumbling drum 3. The springs 804 can be squeezed by the connecting arms 802 and the movable plate 803. Due to the reaction force of the springs 804 being squeezed, the pressure roller 9 can be pushed to stick to the outer surface of the beef jerky material by the movable plate 803 and the connecting arms 802, while preventing the beef jerky material from being damaged due to excessive force.

[0027] The 401 bonding layer is made of 304 food-grade stainless steel, which is easy to clean, meets food safety standards, effectively prevents bacterial growth, ensures the hygiene of beef jerky, and adapts to heating and cooling processes, maintaining the stability and safety of the equipment.

[0028] The protective layer 402 is made of thickened polyurethane foam. During the tumbling process, the polyurethane foam can effectively absorb vibration, reduce the impact and wear on the internal components of the equipment, and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0029] The outer layer, made of 403 polyethylene plastic, offers excellent durability, preventing damage to the equipment's exterior from seasonings or cleaning agents. Furthermore, the smooth plastic surface facilitates cleaning and helps maintain the equipment's hygiene. Any content not described in detail in this specification is prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0030] In this embodiment of the application, when the sealing door 301 on the tumbling drum 3 is opened, the beef jerky material and sauce to be tumbled can be placed inside the tumbling drum 3. After the sealing door 301 is closed, the first motor 201 is started and can drive the tumbling drum 3 to rotate through the connecting rod 202. At the same time, the agitator 5 inside the tumbling drum 3 can turn the beef jerky material. The second motor 601 is started and can drive the rotating rod 7 to rotate in the opposite direction through the connecting shaft 602. At this time, the pressing mechanism 8 on the rotating rod 7 can drive the pressure roller 9 to tumble the beef jerky material inside the tumbling drum 3. After tumbling, the beef jerky material can be quickly removed by opening the sealing door 301.

[0031] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
